• Attach files as notes, export comment summaries, and compare document versions.
• SharePoint integration: Check out/in files and collaborate in NetDocuments/iManage.

Smart Forms and Accessibility

Design, fill, and tag forms for efficiency and inclusivity:

• Auto-detect form fields (acroforms & XFA), import/export data via .csv files, and use JavaScript support.
• Generate 2D barcodes for Ultraforms®-enabled PDFs.
• Validate accessibility for screen readers with alt-text tools, reading-order adjustments, and PDF tagging.
• Export PDFs to accessible text formats for vision-impaired users.

Scan and OCR

Digitize paper documents into searchable, editable files:
